archivio Beppe Vidali
A logical route, previously noticed by climbers from Avio but completed by Beppe Vidali and Sergio Coltri. Excellent rock, difficulties never too extreme, set in a wild area yet accessable area. Bolted climb with a distinctly alpine feel.
The route is located inVal d'Avio. From Avio drive to San Valentino and you park on the road at the signs for Contrada Piagù. From the parking lot you can already make out the clear line of the corner and crack.
AccessReach Paigù then head left along the path; leave this at the Madonna and head left along the track to reach the base of the of route (at present the path isn’t very clear). 40-50 minutes.

You can either abseil down the route or, from the last belay, traverse left along the ledge, enter the woods, keep right, continue past the first steep gully on the right to reach a plateau next to a second, wider gully. Descend this and join the path that leads to the base of the route.
NotesOld pegs were found up to pitch 3, but the route was probably never completed. The route has been bolted to make it safe for all but the route nevertheless has an alpine feel to it. A particular thanks to Laac Caprino
